Amazon Underworld: A Cross-Border Investigation Into the Criminal Networks That Run the Amazon
Country:
While countries closed their borders during the pandemic, criminal enterprises knew no frontiers and increased their control, even while governments limited their actions in the Amazon. Natural resources are continuously reaching international buyers, and the demand is luring an increasing amount of criminal elements to the depths of the tropical rainforest.
Working as an investigative reporter, Bram Ebus collaborates with a team of journalists to uncover the crime dynamics of the Amazon region and to study the social, cultural, and environmental impacts of illicit economies that are changing the face of the jungle forever.
